JANEL GUERTIN

My name is Janel Guertin, I’m 23 years old and born and raised in Granite Falls. I work at the Rock Dinning & Events in town as a waitress and bartender. I grew up doing crafts and art projects with my mom and grandmas. Painting quickly became my favorite way to express myself and one day I decided to paint myself and my cats in cartoon style, it became my favorite thing to do! Now I spend most of my free time painting cats in a cartoon style and I’ve even started digital art of cats, hoping to make cat animations some day soon! I grew up always having a cat in life and I make friends with pretty much every cat I come across. I’m also known for rescuing stray cats and I’ve fostered a lot of cats through the shelter. I now have 6 cats and one dog so I have plenty of inspiration for my art!
